The Backpack
Your like my backpack
So heavy and stiff
Do you ever get tired of carrying that sack around?
It's heavier than mine
Except i can't see it
No one can
No one even knows it's there
To be honest i don't think that anyone else really cares
Does it bother you that heavy thing on your back
Or do you just hope that they can't see it
As you hunch over trying to look relaxed
Man, that backpack
All covered in black
Pockets in the front and the back
A big old backpack
You try to get rid if it
I watch you fight with it everyday
But it doesn't go away?
It just sits there
In dismay
Just like you
Except it doesn't want to get rid of the pain that it causes
You toss and you turn through the hallways
Hoping to be ignored
But that backpack is up to no good
It's a menace
It makes you frown
And feel like everything in your life is going down
I have the same backpack
Except yours is a lot bigger than mine
Bigger pockets
Thicker straps
And a whole lot sturdier
But I'm glad that i don't have that backpack of yours
Having to carry around all that bagage
Having it control your every move
Make all of your decisions
Control your life
Uh that's some backpack
Holding all that stuff inside
Trying to look put together on the outside
But as soon as you open it up
SWOOSH!
A mess of papers and pens fall out
Everywhere
